The heat of the summer has not cooled down with one or two lamentable homicides. On the contrary, the weather has been not only exceptionally hot and humid lately, but it has also been always rainy, as if God is grieving for the victims behind the murders.

In fact, there are many people who don't like rainy days very much, because of its depression, because of its inconvenience, because it always seems to arouse a little bit of gloom in people's hearts.

Luo Chuan sat by the window of the office, looking at the drizzle outside, and couldn't help but think that if only the murderers and criminals didn't like rainy days. At the very least, this summer can be effective in reducing some malignant cases.

It has been many days since Zhang Wu wrote the closing report on the arson murder, and Luo Chuan often thinks of the old and the young under the big locust tree recently, and he doesn't know if the children who grow up will be able to forget the fear and pain of that day in the days to come.

A ringing of the phone pulled Luo Chuan back to reality from his distant thoughts. He has been waiting for Guan Shan's call, Guan Shan seems to be a little busy these days, and he has been tired of running west in Guan Shan before, so Luo Chuan is not embarrassed to call to urge Guan Shan. At this time, when he picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was a call from Guan Shan, Luo Chuan finally raised some spirits in the hazy and rainy day.

"You finally called me, how was your rest lately?" Luo Chuan asked with a smile.

Guan Shan replied: "I have dealt with some things in Qingshan Hospital in the past few days...... There was a slight delay. Otherwise, I would have contacted you a long time ago. ”

"How's it going, do you have time today? Shall we meet that friend of mine? Luo Chuan was bent on checking Song Mingze as soon as possible.

Guan Shan smiled helplessly: "I know you, if you don't check Song Mingze for a day, you won't be down-to-earth for a day." As it happens, I'm also curious about your friend, I'll pick you up from the police force now, and I'll see you later. ”

After hanging up the phone, Luo Chuan sent a text message, then cleaned up, walked out of the office and found Ke Xue in the laboratory. In the time when there were no cases, Ke Xue still soaked in the laboratory all day long to study things that ordinary people couldn't study thoroughly, as she did in the earliest days. Especially after he learned about the Chimera phenomenon, he was even more diligent and studious every day, saying that he hoped that if he encountered Zhang Wu and Xiaohui again one day, he could use science to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible, so that the murder would not happen.

When Luo Chuan arrived at the laboratory, Ke Xue was stuck in front of the microscope and couldn't extricate himself. Luo Chuan coughed, symbolically knocked on the door and said, "Ahem...... Xiaoxue, I have something to go out for, and I haven't decided when I'll be back. Don't work too hard, keep an eye on the case. In case something happens, feel free to call me. ”

As soon as Ke Xue heard that Luo Chuan was going out, she immediately gave up the microscope, and then jumped to Luo Chuan's side in two steps, looked at him with expectant eyes and said, "Take me there." ”

"You...... I don't really like the place I visited. Besides, it's not out of the scene, what are you doing with me? The team also needs to have a reliable person to watch, you can be regarded as the main force now. Obedient and honest housekeeping. If you are assessed for three more cases, you will be asked to take off the hat of your internship. After speaking, Luo Chuan walked out of the laboratory quickly, without giving Ke Xue a chance to continue grinding and soaking.

Although Luo Chuan didn't take Ke Xue out, which made him a little disappointed, when he heard Luo Chuan say that he was about to graduate, he couldn't help but say "yes" excitedly.

After seeing Guan Shan, Luo Chuan got into the car and said mysteriously: "You haven't been back to China for too long, I don't know if you have ever gone out for recreation, have you heard of this place?" ”

Guan Shan drove the car, glanced at Luo Chuan and asked, "Can't you see that you still have a leisurely time to drink coffee?" Or is that friend of yours right there? ”

"This corner café is owned by that weirdo. Usually he spends most of his time there, so we go there to find him. ”

Guan Shan smiled and said: "I went with a friend once before, and what impressed me was the high price and incomprehensible layout of his coffee. So it is conceivable that there are not many people who go there, but their identities are not ordinary. ”

"That's right. His place looked quiet and elegant, but in fact it was a mixed bag. People from all walks of life who have a bit of a head in the road have almost all dealt with this weirdo. But this person is to blame...... No matter who you are, no one will give face. Luo Chuan mentioned this strange friend, and he seemed to have a headache.

But Guan Shan smiled: "Haha, this is very tantrum with you!" I still remember the first time I met your chief, people said that you were like a live bandit in the police force. ”

Luo Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "This person, you will know when you see it, the crazy is no lighter than your patient." ”

It didn't take long for them to come to this corner café in a small street behind the bustling business district. This place is a café and a tavern, because the owner has a strange personality, a special way of doing business, and the coffee is strangely expensive, so at first glance, this exquisite little restaurant is still a little deserted.

Guan Shan parked the car, then turned his head and asked Luo Chuan: "Ready?" ”

"Hmm...... Yes? After Luo Chuan reacted, he looked at Guan Shan in surprise, not understanding why he could ask that.

Guan Shan shrugged and said, "Your expression and body language have already told me that this friend inside is a person who gives you more headaches than the second captain." I don't know exactly how weird he is, but he's certainly weirder than you. With that, Guan Shan got out of the car and waited for Luo Chuan, and the two of them braved the light rain to enter a corner café one after the other.

The place where there were not many people became even more deserted when it caught up with the rainy day. The guests were whispering, and the surround sound was not loud or small, playing a tune that no one could understand. There are a total of twelve tables, scattered in the 300-square-meter storefront, and the distance between the adjacent tables is surprisingly large, so it can be said that this is indeed quite concealed for conversation. There is no layout at all for the table, and it looks like the boss has arranged it wherever he wants. All the remaining square footage of the store is filled with some quirky things. For example, a dilapidated model of an airplane that looks like it was 100 years old, a skull stuck in a bamboo pole in the Amazon rainforest, stone tools used by indigenous tribes, specimens of parrots in the Jamaican rainforest, and wrecked ships shipped back off the coast of the Caribbean...... These things occupy a much larger space than the twelve tables. It's very doubtful that the owner of this place is a coffee specialist, or just looking for a place for these strange collections.

When Guan Shan first came here, he was already curious about the operators here. If it weren't for Guan Shan's professional understanding, ordinary people would wonder if the boss here was crazy? Therefore, the people who can come here must not be ordinary people.

Luo Chuan walked through the intricate furnishings to the bar, and looked inside, a waiter was squatting inside, churning the small packets of coffee beans.

"Is the boss there?" Luo Chuan knocked on the bar and asked.

"No, please go back." The waiter didn't raise his head, and rejected Luo Chuan with his back squatting in the pile of beans.

Luo Chuan is rarely choked so badly, so he glanced at Guan Shan, wanting to say that this strange place is not to mention the boss, and even the waiter is so undrawn.

At this time, another customer walked over and asked the waiter if he had any more affordable coffee.

The waiter was still busy with his own work, and said without looking up: "What you drink is the most affordable, what about three hundred glasses?" Those who have money have a money field, and those who don't have money ...... Why don't you have the money to come here? The waiter paused for a moment, and after saying this, he continued to work.

The face of the guest who had just found himself bored was pale, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to turn around and leave.

Guan Shan laughed lightly at this time and said: "The boss has a good character, this way of operating is really unique." ”

The "waiter" finally stopped what he was doing, and slowly turned his head to look at Guan Shan: "How do you know that I am the boss?" ”

Guan Shan smiled again and said: "Boss, it's hard for people to care about your temper, I think employees in any industry are given how much money and how much work they do, there won't be someone like you." The sovereign status in your words is very obvious, and it is easy to reveal your identity. ”

There was a smile in the eyes of the "waiter", as if he was interested in Guan Shan. But when he completely turned around and saw Luo Chuan standing beside Guan Shan, he shouted as if he had seen a ghost: "Why are you here!" ”

Luo Chuan's face was ugly, and he pointed at this person incredulously and said, "Boss Ke, have you gotten mixed up enough to be a waiter yourself?" Also, you weren't like this a few months ago! ”

This Boss Ke lifted his hair that was long enough to cover his face, and said disapprehantly: "It's really boring to change the style and let you recognize it." Luo Chuan, if you don't do this, you should not see me, I didn't see you, say what you want to drink, and see you if you don't drink. ”

Guan Shan looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, and felt more and more interesting. Luo Chuan also rubbed his forehead a little embarrassed and said, "Ke Yi, I'm here to ...... this time."

"Stop! I can't do it, I can't do it, I don't have the effort. Without waiting for Luo Chuan to finish speaking, Ke Yi directly blocked all of Luo Chuan's possible requests.

This made Guan Shan beside him finally couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Luo Chuan, I said why are you so reluctant to come, it seems that there is a story here!" Ke Yi, you are Xiaoxue's ......"

As soon as Ke Yi heard Xiaoxue, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop Guan Shan and said, "Stop, stop, this name can only make me admit that he is my sister." I am Ke Xue's eldest brother, but I am not a first-road person with him at all, especially after Luo Chuan accepted him, we are not a first-way person. You can't see each other once in 10,000 years, and you may not know me when you meet, so it's okay not to mention this relationship. ”

Although Ke Yi said so, Guan Shan could see that Ke Yi loved Xiaoxue very much. It's just that for some unknown reason, he wants to hide their relationship.

But Luo Chuan hugged Ke Xue and said: "Your brother is weird like a man with a thousand faces, one appearance a day, it's strange that he can recognize you." ”

"Haha, people are alive, there are a lot of fake faces, so why don't I change my appearance occasionally? Treat one kind of person one way at a time, so that everyone is comfortable. If I had known you were here today, I might as well have chosen to be a dead man today. Obviously, Ke Yi didn't welcome Luo Chuan very much, but he was not hostile to Luo Chuan, as if he was the kind of friend who could afford to joke enough, so he would use this attitude to contact.

However, Luo Chuan is not a vegetarian, seeing that Ke Yi's attitude of resistance is so resolute, he simply sat down at the bar, looked at Ke Yi indifferently and said: "Boss Ke on the rivers and lakes, the temper is difficult to take, there is a lot of money, and there are many cruel words, you should indeed be such a temper." But I'm here for you today to get on business, and I have to check someone. If you helped me...... Oh no, you can only choose to help me. Anyway, there is no case recently, if you refuse me, I will bring Xiaoxue here to drink coffee every day until you take it. ”

"......" Ke Yi looked at Luo Chuan hatefully, then turned his head to look at Guan Shan and said, "Now you can see why I hate him so much, right?" Say, whatever you like to drink, I have all kinds of coffee here, but there is no cheap. ”

As soon as Ke Yi finished speaking, Luo Chuan slowly added another sentence: "I should let Xiaoxue come with the price bureau." ”

Ke Yi was anxious when he heard this, he picked up a small bag of beans on the ground and said to Luo Chuan: "Big brother! My pound of 1,000 beans is rightfully expensive, right? Okay, for the sake of me being in a bad mood today, I'll treat your friend to a drink, and you can pay for it yourself. ”

Luo Chuan nodded amusedly: "No problem, no problem." ”

Ke Yi looked at Guan Shan again, and then commented: "I have seen a lot of beautiful men, and you are one of them." You remind me of a friend from two years ago, and you are similar in some ways. Come on, name your favorite coffee and I'll give it to you. ”

"Blue Mountain." Guan Shan replied with a smile.

"Tasteful! I'm afraid that you will say cat poop and that kind of thing, but it's not that delicious. Wait. ”

As soon as Ke Yi was about to turn around, Guan Shan asked: "The world can only consume 90 tons of coffee every year, can you really drink it here?" ”

As soon as he heard Guan Shan's words, Ke Yi became interested, he lay on the bar, and said to Guan Shan very proudly: "Okay, I will say this to you, I will make your cup of Blue Mountain!" Good coffee still has to be sold to people who know the goods. Forty percent of the people in our country think that any café will cost 180 yuan to drink the Blue Mountains. Twenty percent of people believe that Blue Mountain coffee is grown in the Blue Mountains above 1,800 meters above sea level. The remaining 20 percent know that the real best Blue Mountains can only be cultivated in the 30 hectares above 2,100 meters above sea level. There are only 40,000 bags a year, and only 10% of them are supplied to the world outside of Japan. As he spoke, Ke Yi also patted the small bag containing coffee beans in his hand.

Luo Chuan had never studied Ke Yi's coffee, so he couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you get it?" Also, what about 80 percent of the people who said that it was only half a day, and 20 percent of the people? ”

Ke Yi looked at Luo Chuan, then spread his hands and replied: "There are also twenty percent people like you who don't want to know about coffee at all, let alone know about the Blue Mountains." ”
